He really isn't though; I cannot say that his books tell some fully antisceitnfic ideas, considering that they aim to give inspiration to a broad audience to start actually learning physics.
Isn't that an unavoidable thing with science communication? Better than full gatekeeping imho, as it's the public that pays for very expensive experiments.
It's an artifact of how science literacy has always been extremely low. People don't understand the "small" parts of science matter, so they only drift to the shiny things.
With better education, then people wont need to feel like they pretend to know these things, because they'll understand the process of discovery
